Morphology

rhinotracheitis = rhino + trachea (transparent) = rhino + trachea + itis

Formed from standard medical combining elements meaning 'nose' (rhino-) + 'trachea' + the inflammation suffix '-itis', so the medical meaning is directly recoverable from its parts.

Etymology

Rhinotracheitis comes from Greek parts: rhino- 'nose', trache- 'windpipe', and -itis 'inflammation'. So it literally means inflammation of the nose and windpipe, which explains the nasal and breathing symptoms.
